failed disk & Debian / Ubuntu OMSA

[Ben Vinger]

Hello

I'm completely new to OMSA, so if someone can suggest a better way please do.
I have a failed SATA disk in a PE 850 (this I can see from the kernel
messages and the fact that it dropped out of the Linux Software RAID).
  I need to "prove" to the Dell engineer that the disk is dead "using
Dell supported software".
I installed OMSA 5 from:  ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/dell
Then I tried omdiag to see if it talks to the disk, but I get a load
of Java errors instead (see below).   What can I do next?  Thanks

 /opt/dell/srvadmin/oldiags/bin/omdiag storage -?

omdiag           Executes component diagnostics.

The available command(s) are:
